Review: Shadow Woman by Linda Howard

Lizette Henry wakes up
one morning and makes a terrifying discovery: She doesn’t recognize the
face she sees in the mirror. She remembers what she looks like, but her
reflection is someone else’s. To add to the shock, two years seem to
have disappeared from her life. Someone has gone to great and
inexplicable lengths to keep those missing years hidden forever. But the
past always finds a way to return.

I really enjoyed Shadow Woman. I liked it much more than her last one. As I was listening, I was so sure I had it all figured out about a quarter of the way into the book. Wow, was I wrong! I was way off. I love when that happens. Lizette looks in the mirror one day and doesn't recognize the face. Every time she tries to remember, she gets violently ill. Slowly, she regains snippets of her memory. Enough to realize that she is missing two years of her life. Scared and confused, she decides to take action to try to get those two years back. The problem is that someone doesn't seem to want her to rememebr. When you can't trust your own memories, who can you trust?

Linda
Howard's latest is a very engaging and suspenseful
story. It does have a bit of romance, but it isheavier on the thriller/suspense side than she usually writes. Since I love her romances, I was pleased to see
that even though the hero and heroine don't actually get together until
very late in the book, there was no lack of steamy love scenes between
them throughout the book. How? You'll have to read to find out.

I definitely think that most fans of Ms. Howard will enjoy this book. The audio version is narrated by Carrington MacDuffie. She is one of my favorites and she didn't disappoint.
